About Pacifica

I am an ecologist interested in the forces allowing species to coexist in diverse communities – and the cases in which those forces break down (e.g. invasive species). Accelerating rates of biodiversity loss due to human activity make understanding these processes all the more critical.

I enjoy exploring and adventuring outdoors, from rock climbing to mountain biking to diving. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge and excitement of science and the outdoors with others, especially kids.
